Hundreds of thousands march for end of abortion in Washington on Roe anniversary 

1/22/2014

 
Update 1:31pm: We've uploaded the first crop of photos. Check back for more. The March to the Supreme Court has been underway for about twenty minutes. 
 
Update 1:08pm: Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said, "Your faces are cold but your hearts are on fire, right?" He related that in 1973 he was driving home on the freeway when he learned of the Roe v. Wade decision. "I grieved over it because I knew it meant millions of babies would die," he said. "Who would've known it would be 56 million by this point 41 years later?"
 
Telling the story of a couple he counselled to choose life for their child, he told the crowd, "I say to you, if you're facing a similar situation, … let your baby live!" He then marvelled at the youth of the crowd. "Look at the young people who are here!" he said. "You are the hope of the future and together we're going to win this fight!"
 
Update 1:00pm: Giovanna Romero of Latinas por la Vida told marchers that blacks and Hispanics are "systematically targeted by the culture of death." "Who is with me to fight the good fight?" she asked. "We are the pro-life  generation and we will make a mark in history. … We will make an end to abortion!"
 
Donna Harrison, executive director of the American Association of Pro-Life Ob/Gyns, said the front lines of the abortion battle are changing. It's no longer the clinic and the hospital, but the dorm room and campus clinic because of the promotion of emergency contraceptive drugs, which act as abortifacients. She told the youth, "you've now become the frontline in the battle against abortion."
 
Update 12:43pm: Vicky Hartzler, R-MO, told marchers, "We are here today to remember the millions of lives devastated with abortion and to pledge ourselves anew to upholding the most fundamental" right, "the right to life."

Obamacare Will Pay for Your Abortion But Not Include Your Baby in Your Health Insurance

1/3/2014

 
Obamacare coverage “officially” began Wednesday and a new problem has cropped up: Obamacare will help pay for your abortion but getting your newborn baby covered under an Obamacare exchange health care plan is virtually impossible.

The Obamacare website was supposed to contain a computerized method of updating a family’s “change in circumstances,” such as adding a new baby to a policy. However, the Obama administration postponed that function as it attempted to fix the many other problems with the Obamacare web site.
It’s not just having a new baby that could create bureaucratic hassles, but other life changes affecting a consumer’s taxpayer-subsidized premiums. The list includes marriage and divorce, a death in the family, a new job or a change in income, even moving to a different community.

Sotomayor Temporarily Halts HHS Mandate for Little Sisters of the Poor

1/3/2014

 
Religious freedom and Obamacare crossed paths again this week when Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor blocked enforcement of the contraception mandate for a Roman Catholic organization dedicated to serving the elderly poor. The mandate will be on hold for the group until Friday morning. 

The Obama administration required nonprofits — many of which are faith-based — to comply with the Health and Human Services mandate by Jan. 1. The mandate forces organizations to offer potential abortion-inducing drugs in their employee health plans.

Doctor tells expectant parents of baby with Down syndrome that they are a “lucky couple”

1/3/2014

 
Glennon, creator of Momastery, was having an ultrasound with her first born child when doctors discovered “a few issues.” Worried her baby would die, she waited anxiously for the doctor to tell her and her family what was going on...
In preparation for life with a baby with Down syndrome, Glennon and her husband Craig interviewed pediatricians. They were looking for one who had experience with and was good with children with Down syndrome and they knew the moment they found that doctor. Glennon recalls:

We […] chose the [doctor] who stopped us during our interview and said, ‘You know, I don’t have a single family who wouldn’t tell you that their child with Down Syndrome changed their family in the best possible ways. These children, they turn your life upside down in all the most important ways. And most of us don’t get life changing opportunities like that. There are challenges -yes- but those challenges will shrink compared to the enormity of the new life you’ll have. The new perspective you’ll have. You are a lucky couple.’
